No, I don't... and that's what's really bugging me... (I do see them when I've
got the Amiga connected to the modem, so it's not just my eyes :-) )

I don't believe they are making it out... What I know I *should* do (and
havn't done yet) is to hook another machine up to the serial port, and run
pppd without the chat stuff...

I looked at that code a couple of times now, and didn't notice the missing "N"!
(I even compared those lines with similar lines in other architectures, and
didn't notice the difference... sheesh :-/ )

I don't know if it will fix it (I'll obviously have to add in:
#if NPPP > 0
#include <net/ppp_defs.h>
#include <net/if_ppp.h>
#endif
to that file as well.) but I'll certainly give it a shot. It'll probably be
about 6 hours (around 5:30pm CST) till I get to check this (I'm at work now)
but I'll let you know the results as soon as I do...
Thanks.
Later...
